Another day without Jane has gone by. I like it better when she is here. I forget to eat and stuff. I miss her already. But she is having fun and will be home next week.

I went to BofA's home banking today to check out my account. I seen a check went through so I wanted to know who it was for. I clicked on it. Normally it does not say very much, but now they have a new feature. There is a scanned copy of the check right online. I can see the exact check. Wow. That is really cool. Bank of America has the best online system that I have ever used. Thats why I try to code my systems to its spec.

Its a very gloomy day right now. Almost looks like its going to rain. Its about 65 in the house. Winter is on its way. I'm not really sure about how I feel about that. I'm not really into cold and snow. Maybe I'll get used to it.

Anyway, thats about it for today.

Jane is off to her "girls weekend". I sure hope she has fun. I put a little suprise on her web site. I wonder when she will see it...

She is off at Capitola Beach, spending the weekend or so just laying out and having fun.

I'm going to level off the rest of the back yard and clean things up out side a bit. Now that we have our storage shed setup, we have a place for everything. I just about have everything all nice and good looking out back.

Things with BMG50 are going kinda slow. Not many calls this week. I still only have one paying customer online right now. I need a total of 30 to get my T1. Maybe next month is the month. Winter is coming, so people will be inside more. School is in. I think that next month I will get the 30 customers.

Anyway, back to work I go...

Click to view.Here is the generator that I picked up for Johnny. He should be really happy with this. Only $50 and this sucker will power everything. Now I need to get setup with a battery array for my backup system. I think 10 deep cycle batteries hooked up to a auto-switch-over and power filter would do just nice.

Anyway, I need to finish my movie....

Today my dad left for Turlock. There is a big empty space in the back yard where his trailer used to be. He packed it up and shipped it out. He will be gone for a few months or maybe for the winter, then he will be back here.

Now that his trailer is gone I can level the whole back yard. I have a chain link fence chained to my tractor and I just pull it around the back yard. Its kinda fun really. By the end of the month I should have it all leveled off back there.

I have my new antenna to test out a few locations today. I guess I should get out there and test...

Today the power went out for about 45 minutes. I missed the first half of the new Enterprise season premier. You know, the second part from last season... Gesh. Anyway, the backup battery power (UPS) lasted almost the whole time that the power was out. The systems gave out about 10 minutes before the power was restored. I left all the systems going to see how long the power would last. I will shut off a few systems next time. I just want to have the wireless gateway running for my ISP. I think I'll get another battery bank setup for more power. It was a interesting night to say the least.

Here it is, another Sabbath day. I have made some more updates to my web site here. Added the column to the right with my current projects listed. Still working out the bugs and stuff. Playing with the font sizes and colors. Its fun to work on my own stuff. I dont have to obey a design that I don't like.

I received some more calls on BMG50 this week. I think I may have another customer signing up very soon. I have the antenna on order. I really wanted to have my T1 ordered this month, but it does not look like its going to happen. I only have commitment from three users so far. I have a few that want it, but they are not in range of my antenna. I think that today I should fix up my wireless bridge so I can put a repeater up in town. Then I think that I can get a few more people signed up.

Anyway, its time to chill out today and play.

Click to view.Here it is, all finished and ready to paint. My dad just finished up the trim today. It looks really good. He did a really good job on it. The Chickens are very happy there also. They even have a nice shade for them to sit under when its hot out.

I have been dragging the yard to flatten it out. That has been going well also. The yard looks really good too. Things are almost ready for our garage and deck.

Thats about it for now.

Msg:#367 of 1364Date:2002-09-20Subj:I have been playing with Mail....

I have been playing with Mail.app today. One thing that bugs me is not having the ability to auto-set the Mail-From depending on who the email was sent to. Say I get a email that was sent to support bmg50.com. When I click reply, my Email-From is set to phill kenoyer.com. I want it to be set to support bmg50.com. There should be mail rules to set that. Same with the signatures. That just bugs me. At least I can put a drop down on the mail send window so I can select what I want to use for the from and sig. -I really need to get to work un Mutt.app.

Msg:#366 of 1364Date:2002-09-16Subj:Well, here is the tool shed wi...

Click to view.Well, here is the tool shed with the roof on it. I guess the chickens really like their new home because we are getting four eggs a day now. Two more a day and all the chickens will be laying.

I have been feeding the animals next door for the neighbor while they are away. I like doing it. Its fun to feed the dogs and horses. I kinda like their setup. Very well engineered.

Our place is coming along. We have marked out a place for the garage. We are not going to have the money until next year, but we are ready for it. Jane even marked out where her pool is going to be.

The garden worked out really well for its first season. The honney dew was really good. The watermellon was good also. We still have lots of stuff to eat from the garden. Some things we haven't even started on yet.

Well, thats about it for tonight. Its movie time.

Msg:#365 of 1364Date:2002-09-12Subj:Well, all week I have been wor...

Click to view.Well, all week I have been working on a new chicken coop slash tool shed. Here is a picture of it almost done. Still left is to roof it and paint it. It turned out very well. The chickens have a bigger area to play in and we have a place to put our tools and stuff. I'll get a picture of it posted when its finished. Now we have something on the other side of our house to even things out.

I had three calls about BMG50 the first day we put the flyers out, but nothing since. I sure hope we get more calls. I really want to get this going. I dont think that the $40 is too much. That is the same price for DSL and Cable. I'll get calls. I just need to tell more people about it. I might have to go door to door. Its only been a few days. I'll get it a week then see what happens.

Jane is still having problems with Comp. and Amazon. Now comp. is trying to drop her. The actually did drop her. She has to go there and try to get put back on. She had to cancel some doctor appointments because of it. We dont have the money to pay the med. bills for something like this. Did I tell you guys that she had to quit Amazon? Yeah, she had to quit because she was being harassed by people there after that one lady attacked her. All because she was doing really well there and the others didn't like it. Even management was not doing anything to help her. I heard that the lady that attacked Jane got an award later for being such a good employee. There is something up at that place. They are a really messed up company. I wonder if the head office has heard about what had happened? Jane really should write a letter to them.

Anyway, another day in the life of the Kenoyer's.
